Such rich source of economic development rural economicgrowth, women empowerment, youth employment, organic cultivation, electric,water, fuel and energy is depleting in a disastrous way as feeding material toslaughterhouses of not only Karnataka but to nearby States of Andhra,Maharastra, Goa, Tamil nadu and particularly to Kerala. There shall be 25-30%natural increase in this number every year but record shows decline every year.There is downfall of 15 lac speechless animals in last decade apart from app35-40 lac/year. which would had been added to ourlive stock

Illegal Transportation & slaughter of Cow and itsprogeny : The heinous crime starts from Government lands at 140+ APMCYards every day and on the strengthof Health Certificates issued by Animal Husbandry Dept, travels under the nose of R.T.O, Police, APMC officials and Check posts. Poorspeechless animals are transported from one corner of State to othercorner & crosses inter state borders, most cruelly & mercilesslyslaughtered without observing any hygiene, Law, Act & Rules. Sale ofcarcass can be seen with out any certification, violating Municipal Rules &Regulations.

This heinous criminal activity estimated to app. RS.25billions / year. This animal & carcass trade is going on, unchecked,providing contaminated meat to consumer, putting heavy without contribution buta burden on exchequer.

It is resulting in to depletion of live stock, high unaffordable price of Milk & milkproducts, penetration of milk made from Urea & detergent playing with thehealth of our next generation, nonavailability of organic compost, apart from hurting public sentiment of compassion towards speechless animals.

Transport of Cattle Rules1965/1978/2001 & Sec 96(Rule).

TheTransport of Animals Rules,1978

Section98 of The Transport of Animals Rules, 1978 provides the general conditions fortransport of animals::

1) Animals to be transported shall behealthy and in good condition. They should be examined by a veterinary doctorfor freedom from infectious diseases and their fitness to undertake thejourney, provided that the nature and duration of the proposed journey shall betaken into account while deciding upon the degree of

fitness.

3) Pregnant and very young animalsshall not be mixed with other animals during transport.

4) Different classes of animals shallbe kept separately during the transport

5) Diseased animals, whenevertransported for treatment, shall not be mixed with other animals.

the general conditions laid down inSection 98 of The Transport of Animals Rules, 1978 should be strictly adheredto. And apart from that, there are different rules for transporting differentcategories of animal, provided under The Transport of Animals Rules, 1978.Overloading of animals amounts to treating of

animals cruelly under Section 11 of ThePrevention Of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.

If the above general conditions withregard to the transportation of animals are not met, the animals should beimmediately unloaded and sent to the nearest animal shelter. Some furtherconditions that must be observed are:

In the case of trucks whose wheelbaseis over 142 inches shall not carry more than six cattle without calves or fivewith calves.

The Vehicle transporting them should belarge enough to carry animals comfortably and the animals should not be packedand jammed inside. The animals should also be protected from the weather.

·Animals are not allowed to betransported by tempo.

· First aid equipment should beavailable in the vehicle.

Suitable ramps should be provided forloading and unloading the animals.

· Materials for padding such as straw,shall be placed on the floor to avoid injury and this shall be not less than 5cm thick.

Apart from this, there are specificrules for transporting different categories of animals provided under TheTransport of Animals Rules, 1978 which specifies the maximum number of animalsthat can be carried by different types of vehicles.

Overloading of animals amounts totreating of animals cruelly under Section11 of The Prevention of Cruelty To Animals Act, 1960. The offender (in thecase of a first offence) will have to pay a fine which shall extend to fiftyrupees and if it is the case of second offence or subsequent offence committedwithin three years of the previous

offence,he will be fined with not less than twenty-five rupees but which may extend toone hundred rupees or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to threemonths or with both. Also, in the case of second offence, the offender’svehicle is confiscated, and he will never be allowed to keep an animal again.

Karnataka Motor Vehicle Rules and union Motor Vehicle Act RULE 74 of Karnataka MotorRules, 1989 . has stipulated special permits, Speed regulation, Specialbody Fodder, Water, medicine arrangements apart from 2 Sq. Mtr space foreach animal this provision restricts the loading of 4 to 5 animals in eachtruck. BUT more than 10 thousand Trucks are reported crossing inter stateBoarders every month carrying more than 15-25 animals a visible crime unbooked.

Sec.2 Sacrifice means the killing or maiming of any animalfor the purpose of any religious worship or adoration. Place of publicreligious worship means “ any place intended for use by, or accessible to, thepublic or section thereof for the purpose of religious worship or adoration.

Sec.3 prohibition on sacrifice. “ No person shall sacrificeany animal in any place of public religious worship or adoration or itsprecincts or any congregation or procession connected with any religiousworship in public street.

Karnataka Agro Produce Marketing (APMC) Act has classified these animals underSchedule A ensuring Dealer Registration, Entry Fee, Implementation of otherActs and Rules etc.

Karnataka Municipality Act Sec.87,91, 226,228. 232,242,243,244, 246, 251,256,257,324 deals with Animals, slaughterhouse, illegal slaughter places. Health& hygiene.

In spite of presence of such stringentUnion & State statutory provisions, as a matter of fact, Karnataka has become supplierstate to neighboring Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. Illegal slaughterof these speechless animals is going on in rampant way. Thousandsof slaughter houses are functioning illegally with out any statutorycontrol. Civic bodies have also provided Slaughter houses BUT with out anyphysical control and no Pre mortem or post mortem is even seen.

These slaughterplaces are functioning in heart ofcities creating high health hazard. Even the revenue generated in terms ofAuction money is not sufficient to afford a part time sweeper. Hence, Taxpayers money is being spent by civic bodies half compassion to speechlessanimals.

Slaughter Houses though shall be governed under Karnataka MunicipalityAct.Sec:87,91,226,228. 232, 242, 243,244, 246, 251, 256,257,324 but illegalslaughter is the scene of the day. Total violation can be observed. WheneverCorporation want to restrict and create hygienic modern Slaughter House. Socalled Animal lovers comes on road to stop the creatio and illegal activitiesgoes on in name of Law & Order maintenance.

In fact, Municipal officials shall raid and get illegalshops and slaughter houses closed as in NO CIRCUMSTANCE COW CALF & SHEBUFFALO CAN BE SLAUGHTERED AND FOR OTHER CATTLE THEY HAVE TO ISSUE CERTIFICATEUNDER SEC.5 of KPCS&CP Act

Though Constitution of India Article 25 provides freedom ofconscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion (subjectto public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part,all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freelyto profess, practice and propagate religion) but clarifies that Nothing in thisarticle shall affect the operation ofany existing law or prevent the State from making any law.

Seizure and registration of Cases: In spite of efforts there is noimpact on illegal transportation, slaughter houses, trading etc of pooranimals. We can see the violation every week in most of 140+ APMC Yards andtheir Check posts in the State in violation of Karnataka Agro ProduceMarketing Act,

Trucks can be found loading, carrying, transporting pooranimals violating Transport Rules attracting penalties, fines, arrest,seizure, cancellation of permit and Driving license etc BUT in practical noaction is visible.

Officials of Animal Husbandry Dept. & Corporation AnimalHealth officials are Competent Authorities in Karnataka Prevention of CowSlaughter & Cattle Preservation Act where Sec 4 prevent Cow slaughter(Cow Calf & She Buffalo) & asper Sec.5 they are supposed to issue Certificate for He Caw and He buffalo ifit is above 12 year of age, incapacitated and free from any disease and decidethe place of slaughter etc BUT where it is seen in practice?

Presence of Transport officials can be felt at all the roads But visibleviolence of Motor Vehicle Rules is avoided by them for the best reasonsknown by them.

Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act, 1961 (Transport ofAnimal on Foot) Rules 2001, (Slaughter House) Rules,2001, Indian Penal Code 429 etc are applicable in whole Countryrestricting Cruelty, poising, maiming, killing injuring etc any animal and alsostrict movement and transport condition. Violation attracts sever punishment

Custody : After booking of FIR question of keeping Live Stock ariseswhere Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has ruled out the interim Custody toaccused and directed the same to AnimalWelfare Organizations till the pendency of case . But in many cases we see therelease of these animals .

Investigation: Certainly “Delayed Justice is Denial ofJustice”. Investigation shall revel the origin of crime, Seller, Purchaser,place of dispatch, destination, vehicle owner and whether regular or 1^sttime offender, etc and onus of proof shall be on accused. Violation ofdifferent Acts shall be reported to concerned Authorities like RTA where thevehicle is Registered and DL is issued, APMC where the lading is effected, AHVSwhere the violation is detected, originated and destination.

Adjudication :Our Judiciary is working very hard and prosecution & opposition lawyers areeyes and ears.In most of the cases prosecution, though try, its best, for thesentence and punishment BUT success rate looks brim. Decade old cases can alsobe seen. Mysore,

Honorable Supremecourt of India, Honorable High Court of Karnataka and other States. Districtand Session Courtsand different parts of judiciary have pronounced Judgments time to time ondifferent issues like lodging of FIR, seizure, providing custody, Maintenance,slaughter and on provisions of IPC 153-A etc

Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Cattle Preservation Bill, 2010 was produced and passed by ourlegislation to cover most of above vital points without putting any harm or hazardto any innocent but is now is now awaiting accent of H.E. Governor of Karnataka

The Vital points arecovered in and improved from PreventionOf Cow Slaughter And Cattle Preservation Act,1964 making significantdepartures, starting with the very definition of the word cattle. As the very title suggests, the Bill removes any distinctionbetween cow and cattle and makes slaughter of all forms of cattle including heand she buffaloes a punishable crime.Slaughter of any cattle, irrespective of its age, will be deemed a crime if theBill replaces the Act.

Total ban Going a stepahead, Clause 5 prohibits not onlyslaughter, but also usage and possession of beef which would practically mean a complete ban on beef eating. Clause 8 states that not onlyslaughter, but sale, purchase ordisposal of cattle for slaughterwhen the seller or buyer in question has reason tobelieve that such cattle shall be slaughtered will be deemed as committing crime. Infact, any perceived abetment ofslaughter or attempt to slaughter will alsobe punishable under the new law.

Clause 14 of the Billclearly states that whoever abets any offencepunishable under the Act or attempts to commit any such offence also attracts punishment. This clauseleaves wide room for interpretation, andindeed misuse, on what exactly amounts to abetment.

Huge penalty There is a hugedifference in nature of punishment as well, with the Bill introducing a penaltyclause (Clause 12 and 13) that did not exist in the earlier Act. It deems slaughteror cause to slaughter of cattle a cognizable and non- bailable offence trial bythe court of Judicial Magistrate FirstClass. An offender may be imprisoned for a minimumof one year and for a maximum of seven years. The fine can range between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 1 lakh..

Dear Friends, we have assembled in this auspiciousPinjarapole (Goshala) as citizen and implementers of law to update ourselves,Mysore Pinjrapole is fighting against this Crime since many decades also attending hundreds of Cases at differenthonorable Courts. I am initiating thediscussion to have the implementation of Rules and Acts in letter and spirit,suggestions and resolutions for different Departments for improved working,timely and effective trial and adjudication and strengthening of institutionsworking for the safety and preservation of speechless animals.

भा ज पा गोवंश विकास प्रकोष्ट रास्ट्रीय कार्य कारिणी बैठक में राष्ट्रीय सह संयोजक डॉ. श्री कृष्ण मित्तल का उद्भोदन

2012-01-29T06:37:00.001-08:00

गोवंश रक्षा, संवर्धन, पालन और देश के उत्थान में योगदान- एक सोच

वन्दे धेनु मातरम,

पितृतुल्य माननीय श्री ॐ प्रकाशजी, देश को गो और गंगा से जोड़नेवाले राष्ट्रनायक माननीय श्री राजनाथसिंह जी, रास्ट्रीय उपाध्यक्ष जनप्रिय गौभक्त माननीय श्री कलराज जी मिश्र जी, प्रेरणास्रोत्र माननीय श्री रामलाल जी, माननीय श्री महिंदर कुमार पांडे जी, विभिन्न प्रान्तों से पधारे माननीय कृषि, पशुपालन मन्त्र, गोसेवा आयोगों के आदरणीय अध्यक्ष, प्रोकोस्ट के निति निर्धारक अग्रज आदरणीय श्री राधेश्याम जी गुप्त, इस गोवंश की कार्यकारिणी में देश के कोने कोने से पधारे गोरक्षा, गोसंवर्धन में जुटे और इस पुन्य कार्य को दिशा देने वाले मेरे सम्मानित साथिओं को नमस्कार और स्वागत करते हुए दिए गए अवसर का सदुपयोग करते हुए देश में गोवंश की दुर्दशा और उस के कारण देशऔर देश वासिओं के दुर्भाग्य की और ध्यान दिलाता हूँ.

कुछ दशकों पहले गोवंश के बिना खेती, परिवहन, सिचाई, पेराई, भोजन, स्वास्थ्य, इतना की, गृहप्रवेश तक भी नहीं सोचा जाता था. सबसे बड़ा पुण्य गोदान, सबसे बड़ी सेवा-गोसेवा, कही जाती थी. यह प्रभु की रचना कामधेनु, कपिला, नंदीनी, और नंदी, वर्षभराज जैसे नामो से पूजी जाती थी. महामना मदन मोहनजी मालवीय जिनका जन्म दिवस हम कल मना कर चुके हैं, देश की स्वतन्त्रता का अर्थ गोरक्षा से लगते थे. यानी देश के आजाद होने पर कलम की पहली नौक से देश में गोहत्या रोक दी जाएगी ऐसा संकल्प पूजनीय मालवीय जी, लोकमान्य तीलक जी और महात्मा गाँधी जी जैसी महान विभुतिओं का था.

मथुरा-ब्रिन्दावन मार्ग पर स्थित हासाराम गोशाला शायद इसही का प्रमाण है जो परम गोभक्त हासाराम जी जिन्होंने कांग्रेस के अधिवेशन में जब मुह काला कर प्रवेश किया तो महामना ने कहा की जब तक गोहत्या का कलंक है हम सभी का मुख काला रहेगा और कहा की देश की आज़ादी मिटे ही देश से गोहत्या का कलंक मिटा दिया जायेगाऔर मुह धुलवाया था. रास्ट्रपिता महात्मा गांधी जी ने कितनी ही बार गोरक्षा को देश की स्वतन्त्रता बड़ा प्रश्न कहा था.

जिस पार्टी की यह बात है वोह तो दो बैलों की जोड़ी फिर गाय बछड़ा देश को दिखा कर हाथ दिखा चुकी लेकिन हमे गर्व है की हमारी पार्टी, जो की भारत की जनता की अपनी पार्टी है, ने गोवंश की महता समझते हुए गोवंश विकास प्रकोस्ट की स्थापना की.

पूजनीय अटल बिहारी जी वाजपईजी ने, जिनका हम भव्य जन्मदिन मना रहे है, अपने प्रधानमंत्त्रित्वकाल में पूर्ण गोवंस सुरक्षा, उत्थान और देश के विकास में गोवंश की महत्ता सिद्ध करने के लिए, भूतपूर्व मुख्य न्यायाधीश न्यायमूर्ति गुमानमल जी लोढा के नेत्रत्व में रास्ट्रीय गोवंश आयोग का गठन किया

इस आयोग ने बहुत ही कम समय में पूर्ण देश का भ्रमण कर, नयायविद, कृषि विज्ञानिक, धर्मशास्त्री, गोपालक, सभी की राय का समावेश कर १६८० पन्नो की ४ खंडो की रिपोर्ट पूजनीय उप प्रधानमंत्री श्री लाल कृषण जी अडवानी जी को समर्पित की. यह रिपोर्ट पूर्ण गोवंश रक्षा, संवर्धन, उत्पादन, गोशाला पर्बंधन विषय पर मील का पत्थर साबित हुई. हमारा अगला कदम देश में पूर्ण गोवंश हत्यानिशेध होता, और जो आज भी है.

साथिओं, जनमानस के सोच का पता चलता है गतवर्ष की विश्व मंगल गौ ग्राम यात्रा से, जिसका पूर्ण देश के ४,११,७३७ ग्रामो और शहरों में स्वागत हुआ और जाति, धर्म, क्षेत्र की सीमाओं को तोड़ते हुए ८ करोड़ ५० लाख हिन्दू, मुसलमान, ईसाई, ग्रामीण, शहरी, आदिवासी भारत के नागरिक गोभक्तो ने हस्ताक्षर किये जो महामहिम रास्त्रपति जी को दिए गये.

हम क्या चाहते हैं ? हम चाहते हैं पूर्ण गोवंश रक्षा विधिविधान से, अर्थ उपार्जन में गोवंश के योगदान से, धर्ममार्ग से, जन जागरण से, व अन्य सभी उचित मार्गों से आज जहाँ भी भारतीय जनता पार्टी की सरकारें आई हैं हमने पूर्ण गोवंश हत्या पर रोक लगाने का अहम् प्रयास किया है और केन्द्रीय सरकार पर पूर्ण दबाव बना रहे हैं. हमे जवाब मिलता है की यह तो राज्य का विषय है. कुछ दिन पूर्व हमारे सांसद श्री गोपाल जी व्यास ने कृषि मंत्री जी के सामने विषय रखा तो येही जवाब प्राप्त हुआ फिर भी उन्होंने राज्य सभा में प्रश्न रखा हुआ है.

मैं कर्णाटक से हूँ और हमारे जनप्रिय मुख्यमंत्री श्री यदूरप्पा जी ने कर्नाटक गोवंश हत्यानिषेध एवम संवर्धन बिल, २०१० विधानसभा में विपक्ष के, विरोध के कारण विरोध, का सामना करते हुए पास करवाया. पूर्ण प्रान्त में ख़ुशी की लहर थी लेकिन 'महामहिम' राज्यपाल महोदय ने जनमानस को धत्ता बताते हुए वह बिल महामहिम रास्ट्रपत्ति महोदया के पास राय के लिए भेज दिया जो माननीय मुख्य मंत्रीजी सहित विभिन्न उच्त्तम प्रतिनिधिमंडलों के मिलने, जानकारी देने के बाद भी, गत ६ मास से दफ्तरों की धुल खा रहा है.

आज भी देश के कई राज्यों में गोवंश हत्या का निर्माणकार्य कानून ना होने के कारण गोभ्क्तों की आँखों के सामने चल रहा है.

देश के संविधान के निर्देश सिधांत ४८ का गोवंश हत्या को रोकने में प्रयोग होना चाहिए था लेकिन साथिओं गोहत्या में उपयोग हो रहा है . इस मूक प्राणी को अनुपयोगी और कृषक पर भार बताते हुए १२ वर्ष के ऊपर के बैल काटना वैधानिक घोषित यानी कसाई के हाथ में तलवार देना हो गया है और इस छुट के आधार पर सुंदर, सुद्रढ़ बैलों की जोदियन तो काटी ही जा रही हैं इनके साथ में नवजात बछड़े, बछियाँ भी स्वादिस्ट गोमांस के लिए काटी जा रही हैं. जिन राज्यों, जैसे केरल, आसाम, आदि में यह गोरक्षा कानून भी नही है या जो बंगलादेश, पाकिस्तान से जुड़े हैं उनके हम उनके गोवंश आपूर्तिकर्ता हो गये हैं

देश की कृषि उत्पाद मंडियां, जिन,मे गोवंश भी एक वस्तु माना गया है, प्रति सप्ताह कसाई और उनके दलालों से भारी पाई जाती हैं और जिस देश के मोटर यातायात नियम एक ट्रक में ४-५ से ज्यादा पशु लड़ने पर रोक लगाते है, उस देश में सरकारी पुलिस, यातायात, वन,मंडी, पशु कल्याण विभागों के विभिन्न विधि विधानों को तोड़ते हुए एक ग्रामसे दुसरे ग्राम, एक जिले से दुसरे जिले, एक राज्य से दुसरे राज्य की सभी व्यवस्थाओं के साथ समझोता करते हुए, कसाईखानों में पहुंचा दिए जाते हैं. मुझे भारत सरकार के जीव जंतु कल्याण बोर्ड के कर्णाटक केरल प्रभारी होने के नाते माननीय उच्चतम न्यायालय के आदेशानुसार कर्नाताकौर केरल के पशु व्यापर और कसाईखानों का दौरा करना पड़ा और जिंदा गाय को कैसे कटा जारहा है देखने का दुर्भाग्य भी झेलना पड़ा. लेकिन, उस रिपोर्ट को माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने मान्य किया और पूर्ण देश के कसाईखानों के लिए निर्देश भी जारी किये.

साथिओं, देश में सरकार कसाईखाने बनती है, हर शहर में बनती है जैसे कोई बहुत बड़ा सामाजिक उत्थान कार्य हो और फिर कसायिओं को नीलामी में इतने कम पैसे में दे दिया जाता है जिसमे उस कसाई खाने में एक अर्ध कालिक सफाई कर्मचारी भी नियुक्त नही किया जा सकता. गोवंश सुरक्षा का तो प्रश्न ही नहीं उठता.

इस विषय को यहीं रोकते हुए मैं चाहूँगा की आप अपने राज्यों में, प्रकोस्ट की राज्य, जिला, शहर, ग्राम शाखाओं का विकास कर अपने क्षेत्र कार्यकर्ताओं को विधि विधान की पूर्ण जानकारी प्रदान करें और अपने अपने क्षेत्रों की समश्याओं से रास्ट्रीय प्रकोस्ट को साथ लें. मेरा अटूट विश्वास है की जो भी केन्द्रीय और राज्यों के कानून हैं उनका अगर सही पालन करवा सकें तो हम पूर्ण गोवंश रक्षा में आज भी सफल हो सकते हैं.

देश और प्रान्तों में लागु कुछ विधानों की जानकारी सलंग्न है .

कोई भी धर्म हिंसा, नहीं सिखाता, ' नहीं पहुँचते अल्लाह के पास लहू-गोस्त के लुकमे - पहुँचती है परहेजगारी" हमारे देश में शिक्षा विभाग को हमे चेताना और विद्यार्थिओं को सही मार्ग दर्शन देना होगा

साथिओं इस ११२ करोड़ की विशाल जनसंख्या वाले देश में सरकारी आंकड़ो के अनुसार देशी- विदेशी नर मादा बछड़े बछिया सभी मिला कर भी २८ अक्तूबर, २०१० को गोवंश 32,57,58,250 पाया गया है. अगर भैसों को भी मिलालें तो यह ४५ करोड़ माना गया है. हालाँकि इसका ७०% भी गोवंश शायद नहीबचा है. सूची इस प्रकार है

सरकारी आंकड़ो को सही मानलें तो हमारे पास लगभग २०.५ करोड़ गोमाता हैं जो प्रति वर्ष कम से कम ६ करोड़ नये गोवंश को जन्म देती हैं और यह ६ करोड़ औरइसही अनुपात से १० करोड़ भैंस भी लगभग ३ करोड़ भैसों को जन्म देतीaa हैं. यह प्रजनन पूर्णतया गोचर ही नहीं होता. यानी लगभग ९-१० करोड़ गाय- बैल, भैंस, रु. २,००,००० करोड़ का २ करोड़ टन गोमांस प्रदान करती हैं ५०,००० करोड़ का चरम, हड्डी,खून, आदि का व्यापार होता है. यह २.५० लाख करोड़ का व्यापर देश के विकास में कोई सहयोग नहीं देता पाया गया है. ना ही ग्रामीण विकास में ना ही रोजगार देने में समर्थ है. सिर्फ कुछ विशेष सम्प्रदाय के लोगो, विभिन्न विभागों के निरक्षकों, अधिकारिओं, राजनीतिज्ञों को, जो इस घृणित व्यवसाय से जुड़े हैं, को समृद्ध बना रहा है.

देश का सर्व हारा गोपालक, कृषक, आज आत्म हत्या कर रहा है क्योंकी उसको महानाशकारी रासायनिक खाद लगा दिया गया है, खेतों में ट्रेक्टर, नलकूप आदि के उपयोग ने बैल शक्ति को नीर उपयोगी बना दिया है. खेती की लागत में उर्वरक, जल और डीजल मुख्य घटक बन चुके हैं इसके अलावा देश की २५% भूमि चरागाहों के लिए रखी जाने के प्रावधान आज भूले जाकर शहरीकरण की दौड़ में कब्जा किये जा चुके हैं. उपरोक्त ३० करोड़ गोवंश ४ टन प्रति वर्ष की दर से १२० करोड़ टन गोबर और ८० करोड़ किलो लीटर गोमूत्र प्रदान करता है. यह मात्रा लो की देश के विकास में सहायक होनी चाहिए आज पर्यावरण की समस्या बन गयी है ग्राम- शहर की नालिओं से बह कर क्षेत्र के जलाशयों, और नदिओं के जल स्तर को ऊँचा करती जा रही है. यह दीवानगी भरा मूक प्राणी संहार आज पर्यावरण, स्वास्थ्य, स्वच्छता, रोजगारविकास , स्त्रीशक्ति, ग्रामीण विकास को तहस नहस कर रहा है.

अगर इस गोवंशशक्ति को उपयोग में लाया जाये तो १२० करोड़ टन गोबर ५०,००० करोड़ का प्राकृतिक उर्वरक, ३५,००० करोड़ की १०,००० करोड़ यूनिट बिजली और एक बैल ८ अश्वशक्ति ८० करोड़ अश्व शक्ति के सामान बैलशक्ति देश की ग्रामीण विद्युत्, इंधन और पेय जल समाश्या का निदान है.

बैल शक्ति का कृषि, सिचाई, परिवहन, अन्य कल कारखानों को चलने में उपयोग ग्रामीण बेरोजगारी समाप्त कर ग्राम विकास की धुरी बन भूतपुरी राष्ट्रपति डॉ. ए.पी.जे अब्दुल कलाम जी की कल्पना 'पूरा' ( ग्राम में शहर की सुविधा ) प्रदान कर सकता है.
कृषक और गोपालक की लागत में कमी लाकर, कृषि को लाभदायक बनाते हुए हमारा गोवंश देश की अर्थ व्यवस्था में अशीम योगदाता बन सकता है. पचासिओं वस्तुओं के निर्माण का साधन, अगर राज्य और केंद्र सरकारें, इस और तनिक ध्यान दे दें तो ग्रामीण उद्योग, देश की अर्थ व्यवस्था में खरबों रुपैये का योगदाता बन सकता है.

बीसिओं वस्तुएं, जैसे, साबुन, शेम्पू, फिनियाल, धूप, अगबती, रंग रोगन, कीमती टायल, प्लाई बोर्ड, मूर्ति, कागज, उर्वरक, किटनियंत्रक, १७० रोगों की रोकथाम दवाईयां, मछर नियंत्रक तेल, कोइल और तो और गोकोला, गोज्योती जैसी विभिन्न दैनिक जरुरत में कम आने वाली वस्तुएं जो की विभिन्न विदेशी महा कंपनियो द्वारा विज्ञापन के जोर से जन मानस में जहर की तरह घुटी जा रही हैं, उन्हें ग्राम ग्राम में बना कर लाभप्रद गोवंश उद्योग मै जोड़ कर गोबरसे रु.५ और गोमूत्र और गोमूत्रसे रु. २० प्रति लिटरके दाम प्राप्त कर गोपालक को समृद्ध और गोवंश में बढ़ोतरी की जा सकती है .

मुझे प्रेरणा मिली और देश का पृथम गोवंश आधारित उद्योग गोवर्धन ओरगेनिक लिमिटेड आज लगभग ५०,००० किलो गोबर और ५००० लिटर गोमूत्र उपयोग क्षमता के साथ पार्टिकल बोर्ड , फिनायल, हस्त प्रक्षालन पावडर गोमूत्र अर्क, आदि का सफलता पूर्वक उत्पादन कर रहा है, केवल गोवंश ही नही पर्यावरण में योगदान देते हुए प्रतिवर्ष लगभग १,००,००० वृक्षों की रक्षा करेगा.

अगर पूर्ण गोवंश द्वारा प्रदित गोबर गोमूत्र का लेखा करे तो करोड़ो वृक्षों की रक्षा का यह साधन है.

कुछ सम्भावित उद्योगों की सूची निम्न प्रकार है

साथिओं, आपने ओजोन परत के विषय में पढ़ा होगा कार्बन क्रेडिट के रूक में अगर हम एक टन कोयले, तेल इंधन की बचत करते हैं तो विदेशी कम्पनिओं से लगभग डॉलर १५-१६ प्राप्त होते हैं. इस प्रकार के उद्योग लगाये जाने तो १२० करोड़ टन गोबर हमे १८०० करोड़ डॉलर यानी ९०,००० करोड़ रूपया विदेशी मुद्रा लाने में सहायक हो सकता है

रास्ट्रीय और प्रांतीय सरकारों के विभिन्न मंत्रालयों के कार्यों में गोवंश जुड़ा हुआ है आपकी जानकारी के लिए कुछ विभाग निम्नलिखित हैं
गोवंश विकास प्रकोस्ट यह सभी जानकारियाँ आपके माध्यम से देश के कोने कोने में पहुंचा कर सर्वहारा के रोजगार, सुन्दर जीवनयापन, स्वास्थ्य की कल्पना करते हुए भा ज पा का सन्देश हर घर में पंहुचा सकता है.

आईये हम आज से ही जूट जाएँ और

१. जहाँ जहाँ भी भा ज पा और हमारी संयुक्त सरकारे हैं गोबध बंदी को कठोरता पूर्वक लागु करवा कर उदाहरण पेश करें केन्द्रीय और प्रांतीय सरकारों पर दबाव बना कर पूर्ण गोवंश हत्याबंदी बंदी और अवैधानिक कसायिखानो को रुकवाएं.

2. केन्द्रीय एवम राज्य सरकारों से २०११ के बजट में विभिन्न योजनाओं में गोवंश आधार शामिल करने का प्रयास करें

3. केन्द्रीय और राज्य सरकारों को गोवंश आधारित उद्योग स्थापना में प्रोत्साहन देने का अनुरोध करें.

4. हर जिले में कामधेनु अरण्य के निर्माण का प्रयास करें मैं इस प्रयास को अटल गो वन योजना का नाम देते हुए परम पूजनीय अटल को समर्पित करना चाहता हूँ.

5. विदेशी नस्ल से गर्भाधान बंद हो और देसी नस्ल सुधार को प्रोत्साहन हो करें .

6. चारागाह क्षेत्रो की सूची बना कर जिला प्रशासन को उसे विम्मुक्त करवा गोपालक, गोशाला व् कृषक को चारा उगाने को दिलवाने का प्रयास करें
7. जैविक खाद और कीटनियंत्रक के विक्रय और केंद्र और राज्यों से छूट का अनुरोध करें

8. गोवंश आधारित उद्योगिक क्षेत्रों की स्थापना, राजकीय विभिन्न अनुदान, कर रियायतें २०११ के बजटों का भाग बने

9. आदर्श ग्राम योजना जिसमे जैविक कृषि, गोवंश आधारित उद्योग, बैल चालित उपकरण उपयोग में ला कर जल, इंधन, विद्युत्, परिवहन, उर्वरक, किट नियंत्रक, दुग्ध और इसके उत्पाद प्रारंभ कर पूर्ण ग्राम उत्थान कर दिखाएँ.

१0. हर तहसील में गोशाला, नंदीशाला, वर्षभशाला हो जो आत्मनिर्भरता कार्य करे गोवंश नस्लसुधार कर देश के गोवंश को स्वास्थ्य, सुद्रढ़ और सम्पन्न बनायें.

साथिओं, मुझे पूर्ण विश्वास है क़ि अगर हम आज कमर कस लें तो यक़ीनन, देश के हर गाँव, हर शहर में हम गोवंश विकास की धरा बहा देंगे हमने ८.५ करोड़ हस्ताक्षर दिए और अगर हम इन गोभ्क्तों को मत दाता के रूप में परिवर्तित कर सकें तो मुझे पूर्ण विश्वास है की हम गोवंश की रक्षा, संवर्धन, ग्राम विकास, मानवसेवा के उच्चतम मानकों को स्थापित करते हुए हमारे माननीय अध्यक्ष श्री नीतीन गडकरी जी द्वारा दिए गये लक्ष्य -१०% मतों की बढ़ोतरी- को अवश्य पूरा ही नहीं पार कर २०१४ में गोमाता के आशीर्वाद से केंद्र में कमल लहरायेंगे

जय गोमाता, जय भारत

आपका साथी डॉ. श्री कृष्ण मित्तल

भारतीय संस्कृति में कृषि व गौपालन का अति उत्तम स्थान रहा है। एक दो नहीं लाखों करोड़ों गाँव वाले इस देश में दूध दही की नदियाँ बहती थी। हर परिवार की कन्या दुहिता यानी दुहने वाली कहलाई । ब्रह्म मुहूर्त में उठते ही गृहनीयाँ झूमती हुई दही बिलोती और माखन मिश्री खिलाती थीं व अन्न्दा सुखदा गौमाता के लिए भोजन से पहले गौग्रास निकालना धर्म का अंग था। तेरहवी सदी में मक्रोपोलो ने लिखा की भारतवर्ष में बैल हाथिओं जैसे विशालकाय होते हैं, उनकी मेहनत से खेती होती है, व्यापारी उनकी पीठ पर फसल लाद कर व्यापार के लिए ले जाते हैं। पवित्र गौबर से आँगन लीपते हैं और उस शुद्ध स्थान पर बैठ कर प्रभु आराधना करते हैं। "कृषि गौरक्ष्य वाणीज्यम" के संगम ने भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था को पूर्णता, स्थिरता, व्यापकता वः प्रतिष्ठा दी जिसके चलते भारत की खोज करते कोलंबस आया. व सं १४०२ में भारत से कल्पतरु (गन्ना) और कामधेनु (गाय) लेकर गया. माना जाता है की इनकी संतति से अमरीका इंग्लैंड डेनमार्क आस्ट्रेलिया न्युजीलैंड सहीत समस्त साझा बाज़ारके नौ देशों में गौधन बढा,वह देश सम्पन्न हुए और(भारत) सोने की चिडिया लुट गयी. अंग्रेजी सरकार ने फ़ुट डालने के लिए गौकशी का सहारा लिया और चरागाह सम्बन्धी नाना कर लगाये गाय बैलों को उनकी गौचर भूमि पर भी चरना कठिन कर दिया .
स्वतंत्रता संग्राम के सभी सेनानियों ने गौरक्षा के पक्ष में आवाज उठाई. महामना मदन मोहनजी मालवीय, देश की स्वतन्त्रता का अर्थ गोरक्षा से लगाते थे. यानी देश के आजाद होने पर कलम की पहली नौक से देश मंा गोहत्या रोक दी जाएगी ऐसा संकल्प पूजनीय मालवीय जी, लोकमान्य तीलक जी और महात्मा गाँधी जी जैसी महान विभुतिओं का था. रास्ट्रपिता महात्मा गांधी जी ने कितनी ही बार गोरक्षा को देश की स्वतन्त्रता बड़ा प्रश्न कहा था.जिस पार्टी की यह बात है वोह तो दो बैलों की जोड़ी फिर गाय बछड़ा देश को दिखा कर हाथ दिखा चुकी लेकिन हमे गर्व है की हमारी पार्टी, जो की भारत की जनता की अपनी पार्टी है, ने गोवंश की महता समझते हुए गोवंश विकास प्रकोस्ट की स्थापना की
स्वतंत्र भारत के संविधान निर्माताओं ने मूलभूत अधिकार ५१-a और निर्देशक सिधांत४८-a में पृकृति सुरक्षा व राज्य सरकारों को कृषि और पशुपालन को आदुनिक ढंग से संवर्द्धित व विशेषत: गाय बछड़े एवम दुधारू व खेती के लिए उपयोगी पशुओं की सुरक्षा का निर्देश दिया आज का द्रश्य बिल्कुल विपरीत है। अनुपयोगी पशुओं के नाम पर उपयोगी पशुओ का निर्मम यातायात व अवैधानिक कत्ल देश के हर कोने में हो रहा है ।
तात्कालिक लाभ के लिए देश की वास्तविक पूंजी को नष्ट किया जा रहा है । गाँव, नगर, जिला राज्य या देश की आवश्यकता ही नहीं, विदेशी गौमांस की जरूरतें मूक पशुओं की निर्मम हत्या कर पूरी की जा रही हैं. मुम्बई का देवनार आन्ध्र का अल कबीर या केरला का केम्पको यांत्रिक कसाई खानों का जाल प्रति वर्ष लाखों प्राणियों का संहारकर रहा है
मांस का उत्पादन ही नहीं वरन विभिन्न यांत्रिक उपयोगों ने, रासायनिक खाद प्रयोगों ने ग्राम शहरीकरण व विदेशी चालचलन ने इन मूक प्राणियों को ग्रामीण विकास, अर्थव्यवस्था व रोजगार से दूर कर दिया है. आज रहट की जगह नलकूप, हल की जगह ट्रेक्टर, कोल्हू की जगह एक्सपेलर, बैलगाडी के स्थान पर टेंपो, उपलों की जगह गैस, प्राकृतिक खाद की जगह रासायनिक खाद आदि ले चुकी हैं। इस प्रदूषण और प्राणी हनन के परिणाम आज असहनीय हो चुके हैं.
हमारा नित्य आहार रासायनिक हो विषयुक्त हो चूका है . कृषि की लागत कई गुना बढ़ चुकी है. गाँव में रोजगार के अवसर निरंतर घट रहे हैं. पर्यावरण दूषित हो रहा है. कीमती विदेशी मुद्रा खनिज तेल व रासायनिक खाद के आयात में बेदर्दी से खर्च हो रही है .कभी २ डालर(८५/-) प्रति बैरल का तेल जल्द २०० डालर ८,४००/- हो सकता है स्त्री शक्ति पशु पालन का अभिन्न अंग है। मूक पशु के निर्मम संहार ने इcvसके उत्थान को रोक लगा दी है। आज जगह जगह अन्नदाता कृषक आत्महत्या करने पर मजबूर है ।भारतवर्ष की लगभग ४८ करोड़ एकड़ कृषि योग्य भूमि तथा १५ करोड़ ८० लाख एकड़ बंtजर भूमि के लिए ३४० करोड़ टन खाद की आवश्यकता आंकी गई है। जबकि अकेला पशुधन वर्ष में १०० करोड़ टन प्राकृतिक खाद देने में सक्षम है । उपरोक्त भूमि को जोतने के लिए ५ करोड़ बैल जोड़ीयों की आवश्यकता खेती, सिचाई, गुडाई परिवहन, भारवहन, के लिए है. इतनी पशु शक्ति आज भी हमारे देश में प्रभु कृपा से बची हुयी है. उपरोक्त कार्यों में इसका उपयोग कर के ही कृषि तथा ग्रामीण जीवन यापन की लागत को कम किया जा सकता है. प्राकृतिक खाद, गौमुत्र द्वारा निर्मित कीट नियंत्रक व औषधियों के प्रचलन और उपयोग से रसायनरहित पोष्टिक व नैसर्गिक आहार द्वारा मानव जाति को दिघ्र आयु कामना की जासकती है .देश की लगभग १५,००० छोटी बड़ी गौशालाओं के कंधे पर बड़ा दायित्व है. अहिंसा, प्राणी रक्षा तथा सेवा में रत्त यह संस्थाएं हमारी संस्कृति की धरोहर हैं जो विभिन्न अनुदानों व सामाजिक सहायता पर निर्भर चल रही हैं. अहिंसक समाज का अरबों रुपिया देश में इन गौशालाओं के संचालन पर प्राणी दया के लिए खर्च हो रहा है. समय की पुकार है की बची हुई पशु सम्पदा के निर्मम हनन को रोका जाये और पशु धन की आर्थिक उपयोगिता सिद्ध की जाये.
आमजन के मानस में मूक प्राणी के केवल दो उपयोग आते हैं. दूध व मांस यानी गौपालक गाय की उपयोगिता व कीमत उसकी दुग्ध क्षमता पर आंकता है और जब की कसाई उपलब्ध मांस हड्डी खून खाल आदि नापता है. गौपालक को प्रति प्राणी प्रति दिन रु.१५-२० खर्च ज्कारना होता है और येही २५०-३०० किलो की गाय या बैल लगभग २-३,००० में कसाई को मिल जाता है जब तक यह गाय दुधारू होती है गौपालक पालन करता है अन्यथा कसाई के हाथों में थमा देता है. पशु शक्ति, गोबर, गौमुत्र की आय या उपयोगिता का कई हिसाब ही नहीं लगाया जाता है. जो जानवर २-३,००० में ख़रीदा गया, २-३ दिनों में कत्ल कर रु.१००/- प्रति किलो २०० किलो गोमांस, चमडा रु.१,०००/- १५-२० किलो हड्डियाँ रु. २०/- प्रति किलो से और १२ लीटर खून दवाई उत्पादकों यो गैरकानूनी दारू बनाने वालों को बेच दिया जाता है. प्रति प्राणी औसतन २०-२५,००० का व्यापार हो जाता है. प्रति वर्ष अनुमानत: ७.५ करोड़ पशुधन का अन्तिम व्यापार रु. १८७५ अरब का आंका जासकता है . इस व्यापार पर कोई सरकारी कर या रूकावट नहीं देखने में आती है. गौशालाएं दान से और कसाई खाने विभिन्न नगरपालिकाओं द्वारा करदाताओं के पैसे से बना कर दिए जाते है।
कानून की धज्जियाँ उड़ते देखने को आइये आपको इस पूर्ण कार्य का भ्रमण कराते है. इस अपराध की शुरुआत सरकारी कृषि विपन्न मंडियों से होती देखी जासकती है. मंडीकर की चौरी के साथ में विपन्न धरो का साफ उलंघन यहाँ देखा जा सकता है. पशु चिकत्सा व पशु संवर्धन विभाग के अधिकारियो से हाथ मिला कर कानून के विपरीत पशु स्वास्थ्य प्रमाणपत्र के अंदर, वहां नियंत्रक, नाका अधिकारियों को नमस्ते कर, पुलिस को क्षेत्रिय राजनीतिज्ञों की ताकत प्रयोग में ला कर मूक प्राणी एक गाँव से दुसरे गाँव, शहर, तालुक जिला तथा राज्य सीमा पार करा कसाईखाने तक पहुंचा दिए जाते है.. इन सरकारी या गैर कानूनी कसयिखानो पर भी माफियों का एकछत्र राज देखा जासकता है. स्वास्थ्य, क्रूरता निवारण, पशु वध निषेध आदि बिसीओं कानूनों की धज्जिँ उडाते हुए बिना किसी चिकित्सक निरक्षण के विभिन्न रोगों ग्रस्त मांस जनता की जानकारी बिना परोसा जा रहा है
साथिओं, जनमानस के सोच का पता चलता है गतवर्ष की विश्व मंगल गौ ग्राम यात्रा से, जिसका पूर्ण देश के ४,११,७३७ ग्रामो और शहरों में स्वागत हुआ और जाति, धर्म, क्षेत्र की सीमाओं को तोड़ते हुए ८ करोड़ ५० लाख हिन्दू, मुसलमान, ईसाई, ग्रामीण, शहरी, आदिवासी भारत के नागरिक गोभक्तो ने हस्ताक्षर किये जो महामहिम रास्त्रपति जी को दिए गये
हम क्या चाहते हैं ? हम चाहते हैं पूर्ण गोवंश रक्षा आज जहाँ भी भारतीय जनता पार्टी की सरकारें आई हैं हमने पूर्ण गोवंशहत्या पर रोक लगाने का अहम् प्रयास किया है और केन्द्रीय सरकार पर पूर्ण दबाव बना रहे हैं. हमे जवाब मिलता है की यह तो राज्य का विषय है. मैं कर्णाटक से हूँ और हमारे जनप्रिय मुख्यमंत्री ने कर्नाटक गोवंश हत्यानिषेध एवम संवर्धन बिल, २०१० विधानसभा में विपक्ष के, विरोध के कारण विरोध, का सामना करते हुए पास करवाया. पूर्ण प्रान्त में ख़ुशी की लहर थी लेकिन 'महामहिम' राज्यपाल महोदय ने जनमानस को धत्ता बताते हुए वह बिल महामहिम रास्ट्रपत्ति महोदया के पास राय के लिए भेज दिया जो माननीय मुख्य मंत्रीजी सहित विभिन्न उच्त्तम प्रतिनिधिमंडलों के मिलने, जानकारी देने के बाद भी, गत ६ मास से दफ्तरों की धुल खा रहा है.आज भी देश के कई राज्यों में गोवंशहत्या का निर्माणकार्य कानून ना होने के कारण गोभ्क्तों की आँखों के सामने चल रहा है.
देश के संविधान के निर्देश सिधांत ४८ का गोवंश हत्या को रोकने में प्रयोग होना चाहिए था लेकिन साथिओं गोहत्या में उपयोग हो रहा है . इस मूक प्राणी को अनुपयोगी और कृषक पर भार बताते हुए १२ वर्ष के ऊपर के बैल काटना वैधानिक घोषित यानी कसाई के हाथ में तलवार देना हो गया है और इस छुट के आधार पर सुंदर, सुद्रढ़ बैलों की जोदियन तो काटी ही जा रही हैं इनके साथ में नवजात बछड़े, बछियाँ भी स्वादिस्ट गोमांस के लिए काटी जा रही हैं. जिन राज्यों, जैसे केरल, आसाम, आदि में यह गोरक्षा कानून भी नही है या जो बंगलादेश, पाकिस्तान से जुड़े हैं उनके हम उनके गोवंश आपूर्तिकर्ता हो गये हैं
साथिओं, देश में सरकार कसाईखाने बनाती है, हर शहर में बनाती है जैसे कोई बहुत बड़ा सामाजिक उत्थान कार्य हो और फिर कसायिओं को नीलामी में इतने कम पैसे में दे दिया जाता है जिसमे उस कसाई खाने में एक अर्ध कालिक सफाई कर्मचारी भी नियुक्त नही किया जा सकता. गोवंश सुरक्षा का तो प्रश्न ही नहीं उठता.
देश की कृषि उत्पाद मंडियां, जिन,मे गोवंश भी एक वस्तु माना गया है, प्रति सप्ताह कसाई और उनके दलालों से भारी पाई जाती हैं और जिस देश के मोटर यातायात नियम एक ट्रक में ४-५ से ज्यादा पशु लड़ने पर रोक लगाते है, उस देश में सरकारी पुलिस, यातायात, वन,मंडी, पशु कल्याण विभागों के विभिन्न विधि विधानों को तोड़ते हुए एक ग्रामसे दुसरे ग्राम, एक जिले से दुसरे जिले, एक राज्य से दुसरे राज्य की सभी व्यवस्थाओं के साथ समझोता करते हुए, कसाईखानों में पहुंचा दिए जाते हैं. मुझे भारत सरकार के जीव जंतु कल्याण बोर्ड के कर्णाटक केरल प्रभारी होने के नाते माननीय उच्चतम न्यायालय के आदेशानुसार कर्नाताकौर केरल के पशु व्यापर और कसाईखानों का दौरा करना पड़ा और जिंदा गाय को कैसे कटा जारहा है देखने का दुर्भाग्य भी झेलना पड़ा. लेकिन, उस रिपोर्ट को माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने मान्य किया और पूर्ण देश के कसाईखानों के लिए निर्देश भी जारी किये.

हमारे देश में शिक्षा विभाग को हमे चेताना और विद्यार्थिओं को सही मार्ग दर्शन देना होगा साथिओं इस ११२ करोड़ की विशाल जनसंख्या वाले देश में सरकारी आंकड़ो के अनुसार देशी- विदेशी नर मादा बछड़े बछिया सभी मिला कर भी २८ अक्तूबर, २०१० को गोवंश 32,57,58,250 पाया गया है. अगर भैसों को भी मिलालें तो यह ४५ करोड़ माना गया है. हालाँकि इसका ७०% भी गोवंश शायद नहीबचा है. सरकारी आंकड़ो को सही मानलें तो हमारे पास लगभग २०.५ करोड़ गोमाता हैं जो प्रति वर्ष कम से कम ६ करोड़ नये गोवंश को जन्म देती हैं और यह ६ करोड़ औरइसही अनुपात से १० करोड़ भैंस भी लगभग ३ करोड़ भैसों को जन्म देती हैं. यह प्रजनन पूर्णतया गोचर ही नहीं होता. यानी लगभग ९-१० करोड़ गाय- बैल, भैंस, रु. २,००,००० करोड़ का २ करोड़ टन गोमांस प्रदान करती हैं ५०,००० करोड़ का चरम, हड्डी,खून, आदि का व्यापार होता है. यह २.५० लाख करोड़ का व्यापर देश के विकास में कोई सहयोग नहीं देता पाया गया है. ना ही ग्रामीण विकास में ना ही रोजगार देने में समर्थ है.
सिर्फ कुछ विशेष सम्प्रदाय के लोगो, विभिन्न विभागों के निरक्षकों, अधिकारिओं, राजनीतिज्ञों को, जो इस घृणित व्यवसाय से जुड़े हैं, को समृद्ध बना रहा है.
आप अपने राज्यों में, प्रकोस्ट की राज्य, जिला, शहर, ग्राम शाखाओं का विकास कर अपने क्षेत्र कार्यकर्ताओं को विधि विधान की पूर्ण जानकारी प्रदान करें और अपने अपने क्षेत्रों की समश्याओं से रास्ट्रीय प्रकोस्ट को साथ लें. मेरा अटूट विश्वास है की जो भी केन्द्रीय और राज्यों के कानून हैं उनका अगर सही पालन करवा सकें तो हम पूर्ण गोवंश रक्षा में आज भी सफल हो सकते हैं. देश और प्रान्तों में लागु कुछ विधानों की जानकारी सलंग्न है .
देश का सर्व हारा गोपालक, कृषक, आज आत्म हत्या कर रहा है क्योंकी उसको महानाशकारी रासायनिक खाद लगा दिया गया है, खेतों में ट्रेक्टर, नलकूप आदि के उपयोग ने बैल शक्ति को नीर उपयोगी बना दिया है. खेती की लागत में उर्वरक, जल और डीजल मुख्य घटक बन चुके हैं इसके अलावा देश की २५% भूमि चरागाहों के लिए रखी जाने के प्रावधान आज भूले जाकर शहरीकरण की दौड़ में कब्जा किये जा चुके हैं. यह दीवानगी भरा मूक प्राणी संहार आज पर्यावरण, स्वास्थ्य, स्वच्छता, रोजगारविकास , स्त्रीशक्ति, ग्रामीण विकास को तहस नहस कर रहा है.
गोवंश ४ टन प्रति वर्ष की दर से १२० करोड़ टन गोबर और ८० करोड़ किलो लीटर गोमूत्र प्रदान करता है. यह मात्रा लो की देश के विकास में सहायक होनी चाहिए आज पर्यावरण की समस्या बन गयी है ग्राम- शहर की नालिओं से बह कर क्षेत्र के जलाशयों, और नदिओं के जल स्तर को ऊँचा करती जा रही है. अगर इस गोवंशशक्ति को उपयोग में लाया जाये तो १२० करोड़ टन गोबर ५०,००० करोड़ का प्राकृतिक उर्वरक, ३५,००० करोड़ की १०,००० करोड़ यूनिट बिजली और एक बैल ८ अश्वशक्ति ८० करोड़ अश्व शक्ति के सामान बैलशक्ति देश की ग्रामीण विद्युत्, इंधन और पेय जल समाश्या का निदान है.

Requirement & Suggestion on different State Departments
1. Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services described as Competent authority under Prevention of Cow Slaughter & Preservation of Cattle Act, 1964 is seen totally neglecting the implementation of above Act. There is no single infirmary established in whole State. In spite of repeated reminders SPCA has not even being constituted in many Districts. Karnataka State Animal Welfare Board has met 3-4 times since its inception in last 6-7 years. Your wonderful planned Scheme “Swrana Karanataka Gauthali Yojna ” has been reported misused in many places out of 18 granted institutions.
2. Planning : National & State Planning commissions / Minstries shall consider cow Progeny as big source of Energy, Rural Development, Industrial Growth, Exchequer and declare as thrust area. Suitable fund allocation willresult not only in Safety of cow progeny BUT will be instrumentalin National and state growth.
3. Home: The implementation of all Acts & Rules normally falls on Police solders. There are number of Acts and Rules including IPC 429 to be implemented in letter and spirit. Though Karnataka Police is one of the best team in our country still negligence can be seen in whole State. Visible crime every day are left un booked in one pretext or other. Investigation in booked Crime are not seen in concluding manner.
4. Urban Development - Municipal Administration: Civic administration responsible for stray Cattle, slaughter, Sale of carcass owns big responsibility. Karnataka Municipality Act has defined all activities. But, gross violation can be seen in all civic bodies. Directions from Honorable Supreme Court of India in LN Modi V/s Govt. of India & ors may attract contempt proceedings one day. There is no ante mortem post martem system seen in any of Slaughter house. Mafia are holding the control and even Government officials are afraid of entering in the area. Cattle pounds or Infirmaries are statutory requirements which are not in existence.
5. Rural Development & Panchayat Raj : Cow and its progeny , the backbone of rural economy has been destabilized because of greed of money and vested interest. App.20 millian Govansh generates 80 million M.T of Cow dung & 20 million kilo ltr of Gaumutra. Bull power availability can be fairly estimated at 200 million Horsepower. 30,000+ village of State are crying for rural employment, Water, Electricity Fertilizer etc. State is consuming thousand crore worth of Phenyl. RDPR Department shall be instrumental in development and implementation of Schemes for proper utilization. Inclusion of Cow progeny in present available Schemes like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, Rural Housing, National Rural Employment Guarantee Act-2005, National Social Assistance Programme, Training, Capart, DRDA Administration, Vigilance and Monitoring,
6. Finance & Revenue : State exchequer is bearing huge loss due to non taxation on Animal Trade & Slaughter houses. Animal transportation, Trade &Slaughter activities shall be dealt as commercial and industrial activities. Normal 12.5% VAT shall bring at least RS 1,000 Crore / Year but it is draining huge amount on different heads. The auction amount received by Civic bodies is not even sufficient to post part time sweeper in a slaughter house
7. Disaster management : Speechless animals are prime victim of any disaster whether draught or flood or fodder shortage or earth quake. State receives huge amount and also spends billions of Rupees but definite animal related schemes are not at all seen. Even Fodder transportation subsidy announced many times in the State has not been released. In case of States like Rajasthan Goshala are getting RS.20/- per day per Cattle. Most of the amount is coming out of Disaster Relief Funds.
8. Agro Produce Marketing: The animal related crime generates from Government Land of 110+ APMC Yards in the State every week. Cattle is item under Schedule A needs Trading License and other regulations. But, implementation is not seen apart from co ordination between other departments. As per fair estimate it is incurring a revenue loss of few Crores in this account. Presence of APMC Check post can be seen in whole State but totally indifferent on the subject.
9. Transport : Presence of RTO can be seen every where including on interstate borders. Motor Vehicle Rules and Motor Vehicle Act has imposed stringent penalties, confiscation and imprisonment of violation. BUT, the visible Crime is going un noticed under the nose of Transport Department
10. Law & Justice: All connected laws were enacted at least 40-50 years earlier. Price Index has gone up many fold in this time but Penalties and Fines are unchanged. It is helping offenders. Animal related cases are not cared by prosecution resulting into release of Cattle to offenders in violation of Honorable Supreme Court Directions. Executive Departments are not provided with the relevant legal information.
11. Forest : Most of transport routes crosses Forest area Hand Posts. Animal carcass, effluent are highly hazardous for wild life. Illegal transporters are big enemies and to be tackled with iron hands by forest authorities in co ordination with other Departments
12. Agriculture : Animal Welfare, Fodder, Fertilizer, Seeds Subsidies etc many issues comes under Agriculture Department preview. Proper schemes has to be chalked out and implemented for best use of Bull power, Milch animal, Bio Compost production, Fodder cultivation etc.
13. Dairy Development : Cow and its progeny is known as Dairy development tool also. Breed improvement, Milk procurement, milk product marketing like many issues directly related with Cattle preservation and Safety.
14. Small Scale & Cottage Industries: There are scores of cottage & medium Scale industries based on Cow dung and Cow Urine. It can be a big rural employment generation. Industries Department and connected Corporations shall develop, propagate, motivate, different schemes
15. Primary & Higher Education: Compassion, Health & Hygiene, Legal, economy, Husbandry , Veterinary etc many subjects needs attention of Primary & Higher Education Departments. Gains of Animal Safety & Loss of Cruelty & Killing shall be incorporated in Syllabus. Seperete Chairs shall be established in different Universities on related subjects.
16. Energy: Bull Power& Bio Gas are large untapped source of non conventional Energy. Proper Production & utilization will certainly reduce Burdon on Energy Department. Like incentives on Solar energy, schemes shall be chalked out on use of Bull Power & Electricity Generation. Apart from Implementation of Union government Ministry of Non Conventional Energy.

Illegal Transportation & slaughterof Cow and its progeny : There shall be 25-30% natural increase inthis number every year but record shows decline every year. There is downfallof 15 lac cow & Buffaloin last decade apart from app 35-40 lac speechless animals which would had beenadded to our live stock every year.

The heinous crime starts fromGovernment lands at 140+ APMC Yards every day and on the strength ofHealth Certificates issued by Animal Husbandry Dept, travels under thenose of R.T.O, Police, APMC officials and Check posts. Poorspeechless animals are transported from one corner of State to othercorner & crosses inter state borders, most cruelly & mercilesslyslaughtered without observing any hygiene, Law, Act & Rules. Sale of carcass can beseen with out any certification, violating Municipal Rules &Regulations.

This heinous criminal activity estimated toapp. RS.25 billions / year. This animal & carcass trade is going on,unchecked, providing contaminated meat to consumer, putting heavy withoutcontribution but a burden on exchequer.

It is resulting in to depletion of live stock, high unaffordable price of Milk & milkproducts, penetration of milk made from Urea & detergent playing with thehealth of our next generation, nonavailability of organic compost, apart from hurting public sentiment of compassion towards speechlessanimals.

Indian Penal Code 429 puts rigorouspunishment on mischief by killing, poisoning, maiming or renderinguseless any elephant, camel, horse, mule, buffalo, bull, cow, or ox.

Prevention of Cruelty Act of 1960) was enacted toprevent cruelty to animals and its Rules regulates Transportation of Animals, Slaughterhouses,Establishment of Societies for Providing Compassion to Animals (SPCA) etc.

Mtr space for each animal this provisionrestricts the loading of 4 to 5 animals in each truck.

Karnataka Agro Produce Marketing(APMC) Acthas classified these animals under Schedule A ensuring legal transaction

Karnataka Motor Vehicle Rules andunion Motor Vehicle Act have restricted transportation of these animals andapart from different provisions each animal has to be provided 2 Sq. Meterspace i e. loading of more than 4 Cattle in a vehicle is illegal.

Karnataka Municipality Act Sec.87,91, 226,228.232,242,243,244, 246, 251, 256,257,324 deals with Animals, slaughterhouse,illegal slaughter places. Health & hygiene.

Honorable Indian Legislature did theirjob by enacting Act & Rules on prohibition on Slaughter, restriction ontransportation, Prevention on Sacrifice and Supreme Court of India in itsfamous Judgment in Ashutosh Lahri V/S W. Bengal & others even in upheld Nocow sacrifice on Bakar id day and directed the Governments to stop thisheinous, most cruel crime.

Constitution Bench consisting of 7Honorable Judges of Honorable Supreme Court of India lead by Chief Justice RCLahoti inits ORDER ON COW SLAUGHTER CASE NO.: Appeal (civil)4937-4940 of1998 Dated 26/10/2005 discussed the Scenario at length and afteraddressing all relevant issues and objections, up held the completeban on slaughter of Cow & its progeny.

These slaughter places are functioningin heart of cities creating high health hazard. Even the revenue generated interms of Auction money is not sufficient to afford a part time sweeper. Hence,Tax payers money is being spent by civic bodies half compassion to speechlessanimals. Though Constitution of India Article 25 provides freedom of conscienceand free profession, practice and propagation of religion (subject to publicorder, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, allpersons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely toprofess, practice and propagate religion) but clarifies that Nothing in thisarticle shall affect the operation of any existing law or prevent the Statefrom making any law.

Different religions were propagating andparasitizing their traditional rituals like early marriage, immolation of widowwith deceased husband (SatiPratha) sacrifice on different festivals. But,different Acts were enacted to prohibit these rituals in public interest.Sharda Act prohibited early marriage and there is absolute ban on evenglorifying Sati as an old tradition of road side sacrifice. Very recentlyHonorable Chief Justice Karnataka High Court has issued Directions which are tocomplied with irrespective of Cast & creed.

We have identifiedfollowing State Departments concerned & connected withPrevention & preservation and connected activities of GOVANSH in the State;

1. Animal Husbandry & Vet. Services,

2. Home

3. Urban Development–Muni. Admn.

4. Rural Development & Panchayat Raj

10.Transport

11. Agriculture,

12. Dairy Development,

13. SS &CottageIndustry

14. Primary&Higher Educn

15. Energy etc.

Requirement &Suggestion on different State Departments

1. Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services described as Competent authority underPrevention of Cow Slaughter & Preservation of Cattle Act, 1964 is seentotally neglecting the implementation of above Act. There is no singleinfirmary established in whole State. In spite of repeated reminders SPCA hasnot even being constituted in many Districts. Karnataka State Animal WelfareBoard has met 3-4 times since its inception in last 6-7 years. Your wonderfulplanned Scheme “Swrana Karnataka Gauthali Yojna ” has been reportedmisused in many places out of 18 granted institutions.

2. Home: Theimplementation of all Acts & Rules normally falls on Police solders. Thereare number of Acts and Rules including IPC 429 to be implemented inletter and spirit. Though Karnataka Police is one of the best team in ourcountry still negligence can be seen in whole State. Visible crime every dayare left un booked in one pretext or other. Investigation in booked Crime arenot seen in concluding manner.

3. Urban Development - Municipal Administration: Civic administration responsible forstray Cattle, slaughter, Saleof carcass owns big responsibility. Karnataka Municipality Act has defined allactivities. But, gross violation can be seen in all civic bodies. Directionsfrom Honorable Supreme Court of India in LN Modi V/s Govt. of India & orsmay attract contempt proceedings one day. There is no ante mortem post martemsystem seen in any of Slaughter house. Mafia are holding the control and evenGovernment officials are afraid of entering in the area. Cattle pounds or Infirmaries are statutory requirements which are not in existence.

4. Rural Development & Panchayat Raj : Cow and itsprogeny , the backbone of rural economy has been destabilized because of greedof money and vested interest. App.20 million Govansh generates 80 millionM.T of Cow dung & 20 million kilo ltr of Gaumutra. Bull poweravailability can be fairly estimated at 200 million Horsepower. 30,000+ village of State are crying for rural employment,Water, Electricity Fertilizer etc. State is consuming thousand crore worth ofPhenyl. RDPR Department shall be instrumental in development and implementationof Schemes for proper utilization.

5. Finance & Revenue : State exchequer is bearing huge loss due to non taxationon Animal Trade & Slaughter houses. Animal transportation, Trade&Slaughter activities shall be dealt as commercial

and industrialactivities. Normal 12.5% VAT shall bring at least RS 1,000 Crore / Year but itis draining huge amount on different heads. The auction amount received byCivic bodies is not even sufficient to post part time sweeper in a slaughterhouse

6. Disaster management : Speechless animals are prime victim of any disasterwhether draught or flood or fodder shortage or earth quake. State receives hugeamount and also spends billions of Rupees but definite animal related schemesare not at all seen. Even Fodder transportation subsidy announced many times inthe State has not been released. In case of States like Rajasthan Goshala are getting RS.20/- per day perCattle. Most of the amount is coming out of Disaster Relief Funds.

7. Agro Produce Marketing: The animal related crime generates from Government Landof 110+ APMC Yards in the State every week. Cattle is item under Schedule Aneeds Trading License and other regulations. But, implementation is not seenapart from co ordination between other departments. As per fair estimate it isincurring a revenue loss of few Crores in this account. Presence ofAPMC Check post can be seen in whole State but totally indifferent on thesubject.

8. Transport : Presenceof RTO can be seen every where including on interstate borders. Motor VehicleRules and Motor Vehicle Act has imposed stringent penalties, confiscation andimprisonment of violation. BUT, the visible Crime is going un noticed under thenose of Transport Department

9. Law & Justice:All connected laws were enacted at least 40-50 years earlier. Price Index hasgone up many fold in this time but Penalties and Fines are unchanged. Itis helping offenders. Animal related cases are not cared byprosecution resulting into release of Cattle to offenders in violation ofHonorable Supreme Court Directions. Executive Departments are not provided withthe relevant legal information.

10. Forest : Most oftransport routes crosses Forest area HandPosts. Animal carcass, effluent are highly hazardous for wild life. Illegaltransporters are big enemies and to be tackled with iron hands by forestauthorities in co ordination with other Departments

11. Agriculture: AnimalWelfare, Fodder, Fertilizer, Seeds Subsidies etc many issues comes underAgriculture Department preview. Proper schemes has to be chalked out andimplemented for best use of Bull power, Milch animal, Bio Compostproduction, Fodder cultivation etc.

12. DairyDevelopment :Cow and its progeny is known as Dairy development tool also. Breed improvement,Milk procurement, milk product marketing like many issues directly related withCattle preservation and Safety.

13. Small Scale& Cottage Industries: There are scores of cottage & medium Scale industriesbased on Cow dung and Cow Urine. It can be a big rural employment generation.Industries Department and connected Corporations shall develop, propagate,motivate, different schemes

14. Primary& Higher Education: Compassion, Health & Hygiene, Legal,economy, Husbandry , Veterinary etc many subjects needsattention of Primary & Higher Education Departments. Gains of Animal Safety& Loss of Cruelty & Killing shall be incorporated in Syllabus. SepereteChairs shall be established in different Universities on relatedsubjects.

15. Energy : Bull Power& BioGas are large untapped source of non conventional Energy. Proper Production& utilization will certainly reduce Burdon on Energy Department. Likeincentives on Solar energy, schemes shall be chalked out on use of BullPower & Electricity Generation. Apart from Implementation of Uniongovernment Ministry of Non Conventional Energy.

Different religionswere propagating and parasitizing their traditional rituals like earlymarriage, immolation of widow with deceased husband (Sati Pratha) sacrifice ondifferent festivals. But, different Acts were enacted to prohibit these ritualsin public interest. Sharda Act prohibited early marriage and there is absoluteban on even glorifying Sati as an old tradition of road side sacrifice and intemples are curbed under different Acts and Rules.

Honorable Indian Legislature did their job by enacting Act & Ruleson prohibition on Slaughter, restriction on transportation, Prevention onSacrifice and Supreme Court of India in its famous Judgment in Ashutosh LahriV/S W. Bengal & others even in upheld No cow sacrifice on Bakar id day anddirected the Governments to stop this heinous, most cruel crime

Undersigned was in dialog with Principle Secretary RDPRon Drinking water supply project with use of Bull Power. Following are fewdetails for your kind consideration which, I am sure that, will be extendingthe scope , reducing the cost & helpful in employment generation

Drinking waterrequirement for a village with 1000 population is estimated at app. 40,000ltrs. To meet this requirement, a bore well with 8 hp capacity required apartfrom overhead tank & supply pipe line. Overhead tank & supply pipe lineexp. Are one time cost but bore well running is recurring and will consume atleast 65 power units @ RS. 4.5 or sayapp. 300/- per day.

Each village hashundreds of Bullocks and we need two bullocks to run 5/8 HP bore well. The costof Bullock driven Bore well is below RS. 50,000/-. This will not only run Borewell but even can be used for power generation, fodder cutting, Flour mill,spice mill running also.

There are 120Gaushalas (Animal shelters) spread in each and every District of Karnatakawhere required Bull power is available. On behalf of Karnataka GoshalaMahasangh ®, I can assure you of wholehearted co operation from these Animal Welfare organizations

Cost per Unit:

Equipment: BullockDriven Energy Drive RS. 42,000-00

Counter Pullies,Putta Shaft & accessories RS. 5,000-00

Centrifugal pump RS. 8,000-00

Installation &other Cost RS. 20,000-00

Bull pair Bore wellDrilling, piping etc Cost on actual

There are plenty tomanufacturing activities basing bull power, Milk, cow dung & urine. Not only water suction and supplybut if utilized BULL POWER will be instrumental in providing employment apartfrom a source of electricity, captive prime mover for Fodder Cutting Machine,Flour & Spice mill etc.

If implemented, itwill provide employment to at least 3,00,000 families which can be coveredunder different State & SGSY scheme of Government of India. Apart fromthese benefits, it will be detrimental in saving millions of speechlessanimals.

Honorable Madam,there are number of Schemes which can be determental in Rural development ,employment & women empowerment. Karnataka Gaushala Mahasangh ® is wholeheartedly working for the cause and under your able leadership, we are hopefulof getting new vision and Policies utilizing Bull power, Cow products likeDung, Urine, Milk etc. On the subject a early meeting can please be arranged asper your kind convenience.
